If the transistor in the figure is in saturation, then
- $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{C}}$ is always equal to $\beta_{\text{dc}} \text{I}_{\text{B}}$
- $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{C}}$ is always equal to $ – \beta_{\text{dc}} \text{I}_{\text{B}}$
- $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{C}}$ is greater than or equal to $\beta_{\text{dc}} \text{I}_{\text{B}}$
- $\mathrm{I}_{\text{C}}$ is less than or equal to $\beta_{\text{dc}} \text{I}_{\text{B}}$
